HP
Quality Center is an Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) solution
which delivers fully integrated requirements management, test
management and defect management functionality, allowing customers to
manage and trace requirements across the complete application
lifecycle. As a module within HP Quality Center, HP's Requirements
Management (RM) offering is designed to be an easy-to-use robust tool
which helps stakeholders maximize the likelihood that an application
development project will deliver the functionality required by the
business. In addition to capabilities such as: standardized requirement types, three-way traceability (requirements, tests and defects) and MS Excel / Word import, other Quality Center and Requirements Management features include:

Flexibility
- multiple requirement types can be organised in one hierarchy and
requirements can be customised according to projects - allowing equal
focus for both functional and non-functional requirements

Traceability - requirements can be linked to other
requirements, test cases and to defects in one centralised location,
helping to reduce the cost of ownership, provide full visibility across
the lifecycle of an application and streamline the development process

Impact Analysis - RM provides the ability to understand the
impact of changing requirements across business silos and helps to
determine where testing efforts should be focused prior to moving
forward with development

Release & Cycle Management - requirements can be
organised according to release and development cycles enabling
organisations to better determine and compare the level of quality and
operational readiness associated with each release

Risk Based Quality Management - project requirements can be
categorised according to both business risk and criticality focusing
teams on important deliverables. This allows the business to instil
rigor in their processes and ensure that testing efforts are
concentrated according to both business and IT need

Program Management - by leveraging other applications
within HP's Business Technology Optimisation (BTO) Suite, users can
manage multiple elements of a development project from resource
availability through to task and time management

HP
Quality Center is an enterprise-ready solution whose native
capabilities are growing with each release. In addition, our open APIs
allow us to enrich our solution through integrations and ensure that HP
proactively supports the complex eco-system of processes, tools and
applications that our customers need to manage. Indeed, industry
analysts argue that HP's Quality Center is already a disruptive force
in the marketplace and will continue to be an even stronger alternative
to incumbent requirements management offerings.
